MR Characterisation/Localisation of Breast Cancer

June 14, 2016 updated by: NdeSouza, Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom

Using Magnetic Resonance Techniques to Improve the Characterisation and Localisation of Breast Cancer

Objective: To determine the accuracy of multi-functional magnetic resonance (MR) in detecting, localising and characterising satellite lesions in relation to an index breast tumour in order to improve definition of clinical target volume after local excision.

Hypothesis: Pre-operative multi-functional MR has high sensitivity and specificity for localising unsuspected multifocal and multicentric lesions in women diagnosed with early breast cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity of MR techniques in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal and multicentric lesions
Time Frame: 4 years
Sensitivity of the MR technique in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal/centric pre-invasive/invasive disease will be calculated (with 95% confidence intervals)from positive or negative correlates.
4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Closeness of agreement between MR techniques and histopathology in localising satellite lesions relative to the index tumour.
Time Frame: 4 years

Distance & distribution of lesions from reference tumour will be plotted and correlated with distances and signal characteristics seen on multifunctional MR.

Pre-op MRI volume will be plotted against histopathological dimensions and examined for agreement between the two methods.

Paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will be used to test for systematic differences between MRI and pathology measurements.
